'I tucked my chin to my chest, I balanced my camera on my stomach, I looked in my viewfinder, and started shooting.'
Megan Mattiuzzo is a 29-year-old professional wedding photographer based in Hamburg, New York. She just gave birth to her firstborn a week ago; she and her husband named their son Easton.
But on the day of her 12-hour labor, and with one final push, Mattuizzo grabbed hold of her camera and captured truly stunning images of her newborn son from his mom's perspective.Mattiuzzo said looking at these images post-labor, she's"overwhelmed with happiness" with how they turned out. However, the planning and road to this moment were not easy.
"The focus went away from the pain," she said."It’s your son, it’s your child. Seeing him…I can’t describe the feeling. You go nine months not knowing what they look like, who they are. And then to see finally see a healthy baby, you’re just overwhelmed with happiness." She advises any soon-to-be mothers who are inspired by this idea, but who aren't professional photographers, to be fully prepared heading into labor.
